the Browns got In their work whom
hits were most needed. In the sixth
inning an accident occurred to Smith,
Brooklyn's great shortstop, which will
incspacitate him from playing proba.
bly, for two weeks at least, King, In
attempting to steal second, was fislded
ont by Olark's throw to Smith, and
the iatter's right hand came in contact
with King and broke the small bones
at the second and third fingers. Smith
did not notice 1t particularly al tlrst,
bat 1t began to swell ~ and pain him,
and upon examination by q physician
the bones were found to bs broken.
Smiths absence will be greatly felt, as
he is q great hitter, fielder, and q very
popular player. President Byrne, who

Probably in no country in the world is
there to be found state Of intellected ad-
vancement among the people who till the
soil, equal to that which exists among our
native American farmers. Some causes Of
this are manifest. The tiller OF European
soil seldom owns bis land, and it requires
constant vigilance and unremitting toll on
the part OF himself and his whole family to
pay rents aud make both ends meet"
leaving no time to CRAFTY any wants above
the stomach. On the other hand, our ma
tive western farmers are mainly gentlemen
land and carry on agricultural industries
with ~ much ease and far less worrimeLt
OF mind than our city men conduct their
business. The farmers sous and dsugh-
tiers have all the educational advantages
that are 10 be had III our entire country,
and it is long siLce well established fact
that the ablest aud most. successful bnsi
ness men TO be found in our cities are the
sons Of American farmers Pick out OF
any city one hundred young men and
maidens, let me select an even number Of
same age among our intelligent farmers
sors and daughters, and will guarantee
as TO the latter, minds better filed with
general information. The chief reason
is that the latter spend their long winter
evenings in storing their minds with use

their time in various fashionable forms

Cornering Coal.

No truer nor more humane words were ev,
written than the following, found in New
York Herald editorial of Tuesday last -
"The majority of mankind fiud it a serious
tax on their purses to keep warm during a
winter like this and very large proportion
of this hard working majority have means
50 slender that an increase in tue price Of
coal is very serious calamity.
There is always, however, every winter in
fact some plausible reason given by specu.
lators why they should lift the price Of every
hod Of fuel that keeps the poor man from
free zing. These reasons are, Of course, mis-
erably lame and impotent. There is coal
enough in this country to meet every emer,
gency until the crack of doom. There are
railroads enough to bring it to market at
price within reach Of any man who earns his
dollar day. But still. at every cold snap,
now on one excuse and now on another
and few of the fiimsiest of them all are
given elsewhere-up goes the price twenty
five, fifty, senty-five cents and dollar ton,
as though coal were the scarcest article on
the globe.
The man who is party to cornering coal
or any Other necessary of life gets his money
in very mean aud contemplate way. He
grows rich out of the wretchedness of half
STAYED ard half frozen poverty, aud if every
dollar he handled were red hot he would
scarcely get his deserts,
This iniquty of robbing the poor man
the very poor man, is rife here in our city.
Senator McWhorter who has incerted a
crusade against the inhumanty might takt
the quoted remarks as a text-if he needed
a text. 1t may be considered, however, that
